North Korean Special Forces in the War Against Ukraine: What is Known Now.


In light of recent geopolitical events, Ukraine may face a new, previously unknown adversary. The Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea might soon appear on the Ukrainian front, reports The Telegraph.
According to experts, the North Korean special forces are the "golden mean" in the global ranking of special units. They surpass conventional troops but fall short of the world's best examples. Moreover, the DPRK SOF has access to chemical and biological weapons, making them potentially more dangerous than regular military formations.
Alarming rumors suggest that 1,500 North Korean special forces have already been deployed, disguised as Russian military personnel, in the city of Vladivostok. This may be a prelude to their appearance on the Ukrainian front. Furthermore, intelligence has identified an engineer from the DPRK who is aiding in the attacks on Ukraine.
